Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I wonder if a wolf experiencing such a traumatic thing like this at such a young age, only to be rescued by humans, does anything to "fast track" their domestication?
Like are they aware at some level that they owe their life to this human? Like I wonder if you looked at it side-by-side with a normal wolf cub taken out of the wild and treated as a dog, would it end up more or less docile as an adult?
So there's a difference between not wild and domesticated. A non wild wolf will be nice around people, but it will still have way more instinct drive than a domesticated animal. Domestication is essentially removal of instincts that harm humans
Sure, it would end up less feral than an untrained wolf.
In much the same way, lava is less hot than the sun. I'm not touching either one, though.
Just anecdotal evidence here but I've noticed a lot of animals are less scared of humans than I remember from my youth. Maybe it's just algorithms showing me rare things frequently creating this perception but who knows
